When Caden was safely in the make shift nursery, and Sam was resting in the infirmary, Jack went to go greet his friends waiting in the conference room. He enters with a proud grin on his face.

"It's a girl. Caden Rosha O"Neil."

Although they were all thrilled, they couldn't hide the worry still on their faces.

"Sam's okay, too. Wonderful, actually."

The tension in the room immediately turns to joy. Congratulations came from all around. Daniel couldn't help but comment. The scientist in him couldn't resist.

"How appropriate."

Jack raises an eyebrow.

"The name. I mean the name. I mean, I have heard 'caden' to mean fighter, which of course suits you and Sam. Rosha, that was Jolinar's host before Jolinar was forced to go into hiding in other hosts."

Jacks nods.

"Sam wanted to pick a middle name that held great significance to us. She picked Rosha.because Jolinar was a part of her, the remembrance of her was important to Sam. Plus, Jacob is a Tok'ra, and she wanted to include that part of her life, too. Now, I wanted to come update you guys, but if you don't mind, my wife is still recovering in the infirmary."

Jack walks into the infirmary and pulls the chair up to Sam's bed. Sam opened her eyes and smiles.

"Sam, you're awake. Are you doing okay?"

"Yeah. I'm okay. The baby?"

"The baby is doing just fine. Hey, listen. I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?"

"You needed me. You were in trouble, and you needed me here. I feel like I've let you down."

"Jack, you could have never known this was going to happen. I wasn't due for another four weeks. I was in what seemed like perfect health."

"I know, but I just don't want to let you down. I love you. I mean, there are still days I feel like I'm living a dream, that this didn't' really happen…that's how good it feels. I don't want to ruin it."

"Now you listen, I love you, too. You have never let me down, not even for a second. I still remember that time we were going to blow up Apophis's new ship, and I got caught behind the force field. You stood by me then, and there are countless other examples. Never, ever, have you let me down. In fact, you are more than I ever expected."

"God, I love you."

He grabs the sides of her head and kisses her with all the passion building within him. All around them alarms started sounding for an off-world activation. Jack knew he probably should go check that out with General Hammond, but he frankly didn't care at the moment. He just continued to hold her in his arms and kiss her beautiful lips.

"Colonel O'Neil!"

Jack jumped three feet in the air.

"You are lucky that you're married to my daughter, otherwise I would have had to kill you. You understand, don't you?"

"Jacob. How wonderful as always to see you. How's it going? How's Selmac?"

"I had just gotten word that my only daughter has given birth to my granddaughter. That seemed like a sufficient enough reason to visit."

"Well, yes, of course."

Sam had a tear running down her cheek.

"Dad, I'm glad you could make it. It really means a lot."

"Hey, I'm proud of you, kid, and to tell the truth, I wasn't there to see Mark's children being born. I wanted to be there for yours."

Jack pats Jacob on the back.

"Come on, Jacob. Let me show you your granddaughter."

As they walked up to the medical crib, Jacob's heart was overwhelmed.

"Holy Hannah! She's beautiful. What's her name?"

"Caden Rosha O'Neil."

"Rosha, as in the Tok'ra Rosha?"

Jack just nods.

"She really is beautiful, Jack. You must be so proud."

Daniel walks up along side them.

"Wow. I still can't believe you and Sam had a child. I mean, I worked beside you guys for so long, it's still sometimes weird to think you guys are married and have a child. I'm really happy for you, Jack."

"Thanks, Daniel."

"One question that's been burning in my mind, though."

"What's that?"

"Now that you two are parents, is Sam getting ride of the bike?"

"That question came to you now, why?"

Daniel just shrugs with curiosity.

"No, she's not getting rid of that bike. That bike is her. Plus, I'd hate to think I might not ever see her in that cute leather jacket carrying that black helmet ever again."

He smirks but then turns his attention back over to his baby girl. He still couldn't believe it. They had a child. Sam gave him a child. He felt an overwhelming amount of love. Now, if he could only convince himself he really deserved it.
